An open house is scheduled for 6-9 p.m. Tuesday at the theater, 157 Canal St., Ellenville. Revealed will be ongoing improvements with roofs and walls, plus expanded and refurbished seating, a new stage and dressing rooms, among other things - all part of the theater's third phase of four in the campaign. Work is scheduled to be completed by May 1 with a theater season opening of May 31.

“Shadowland is an anchor for Ellenville/Wawarsing; by upgrading and modernizing, we’re making sure that the Shadowland is around for this community for a very long time,” said Shadowland Artistic Director Brendan Burke. “We want to give the community, and region, an in-person progress report on the improvements being made. After all, it’s their contributions and donations that are making this happen.”
